Michigan Online Resources for Educators
|
|
In October 2008, the Michigan Department of Education finalized a State Education partnership with Thinkfinity. Thinkfinity.org is the Verizon Foundation's free, comprehensive Web site containing more than 55,000 educational resources, including standards-based, grade-specific, K-12 lesson plans, student interactive tools and reference materials. Many of these resources are currently available on MORE, and ALL will be available through MORE by mid-July 2009!
Content is provided through a partnership between the Verizon Foundation and 11 of the nation's leading educational organizations: the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Reading Association, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, National Center for Family Literacy, Council for Economic Education, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Council of Teachers of English, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, National Geographic Society, ProLiteracy and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
Thinkfinity.org also offers a free, robust professional-development program for teachers and trainers. For more information on this professional development, contact Karen Hairston at hairstonk@michigan.gov.
